  • Thing is, all the other major manufacturers are just as bad or worse.

    As a PC technician, HP still somehow has the best service and support, which speaks volumes about how bad everyone else is. Dell’s support tools are a generation behind HP’s, and Lenovo’s build quality is atrocious. Not to mention Lenovo’s technician support is so badly fragmented and poorly run, they default to having the customer send the device in for repair and avoid sending an on-site technician just so they can avoid dealing with technician support. Speaking from personal experience, getting to the right person when I have a problem or need to order additional parts is like pulling teeth, and even if I manage to reach someone, they’re usually equal parts incompetent and unhelpful.

    And Apple doesn’t even want to service their stuff.

    These days, you have to pick your poison.






  • Do you like fantasy? Check out Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End; it’s what recently got me to watch anime. It tells a great story with compelling characters, has some awesome action scenes, and keeps all of the things I hate about anime (excessive melodrama and fanservice) to a minimum.

    It’s just a great show, and not merely a great anime.









  • I admit, I really preferred how Owlcat’s Pathfinder games handled this, where skill checks are automatically taken by the party member with the highest relevant skill. Say, if a Persuasion check appears in dialog, the roll is made by the character with the highest Persuasion skill, without having to swap to that character. If a Strength or Agility check appears, the character with the highest stat makes the roll automatically.

    There should at least be an option for this in BG3.
